Radeon 4670 vs geforce 9800gt Help

[ilikegirls]

So just to start off i know the 9800 is better but is it worth the extra 50buks and do i really need it if i want to just play:
Need for speed shift
Red Alert 3
Counter Strike Source

Maybe bad company 2

Im looking to see if i really need to get the 9800 or is the 4670 enough fast reply please need this in 20min



ohh btw i can only get the 9800 in two weeks so thats something to think about !

Hi
Those cards are pretty old now.Which card to buy depends on your monitors native resolution, your budget and your PSU.

 

[jonpaul37]

budget, power supply and resolution/monitor size please!

Also list your CPU

yup, no need buy an old tech like 4670 or 9800gt.
Same as the others, list your cpu, psu and monitor, please...
Also how much do u want to spend...

 

[ilikegirls]

Well
500W PSU
CRT monitor 800x600
CPU Phenom II X4 3.0 Ghz

 

[wa1]

what is your current card?
with only CRT, i don't think u need a higher card...

(u have a great cpu there)

You've gone a bit past the 20min deadline don't you think?

 

[ilikegirls]

yeah lol i ended up getting the 4670 but i still the the option of returning it !

untill now i had a 3300 integrated into the mobo

CPU=yeah this used to be my old pc till i got an i7 so with a half good GPU and monitor this could be a nice PC

so wtill whats the verdict keep the 4670 or upgrade for 50 to the 9800gt ?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Stick with it for another couple of months if you can then see what's on offer, the 9800GT is just too old to be considered as an upgrade for a single card setup.

 

[builderbobftw]

Maybe get an new moniter, then upgrade the GPU?

Go ahead for the 9800gt since I can typically max out any below a GTX285 on just a single CRT.
